Netsky is a prolific family of computer worms which affect Microsoft Windows operating systems.
18-year-old Sven Jaschan of Germany confessed to having written these, and other worms, such as Sasser.

Other symptoms of Netsky included beeping sounds on specified dates, usually in the morning hours.
